Occasional pain in left chest area

[clint1]

Im 17, healthy male

i do alot of work on a computer and recently ive been noticing an occasional pain in my left hand side of chest, it started off as a kind of tickling feeling inside my chest and now it seems to come and go as a short mild pain, sometimes the way i sit affects this.

It doesnt happen often but i do not have the slightlest clue what this could be,

any help is much appriciated

I had problems related to sitting at my computer, using bad "ergonomics". A Vascular doc in Denver prescribed that I see an Occupational Therapist, who is helping me with my "work-station ergonomics", and who does Feldenkrais work, to help undo some of the early symptoms of Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, that the Vascular doc said I was getting, from the "bad ergonomics".

Here are a few things that are helping me:

1) I sit with feet flat on floor, and knees slightly lower than hips.
2) I got magnifier clip-ons for my bifocal glasses, to prevent neck craning, while looking at the monitor.
3) I sit in an office chair that allows me to look slightly down, rather than up, at my monitor
4) I put the keyboard on my lap, with a resulting slight "negative tilt".

If you'd like to compare notes, my email is ***@****

This sounds like something that is related either to your ribs or muscles. It can be related to the way you sit at the computer or some other source. It does not sound like anything related to your lungs.
